Federal Aviation Administration

Index of Administrator’s Decisions and

Orders in Civil Penalty Actions;

Publication

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of publication.

SUMMARY: This notice constitutes the

required quarterly publication of an

index of the Administrator’s decisions

and orders in civil penalty cases. This

publication represents the quarter

ending on June 30, 1998. This

publication ensures that the agency is in

compliance with statutory indexing

requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James S. Dillman, Assistant Chief

Counsel for Litigation (AGC–400),

Federal Aviation Administration, 400

7th Street, SW., Suite PL 200–A,

Washington, DC 20590; telephone

number: (202) 366–4118.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Administrative Procedure Act requires

Federal agencies to maintain and make

available for public inspection and

copying current indexes containing

identifying information regarding

materials required to be made available

or published. 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2). In a

notice issued on July 11, 1990, and

published in the Federal Register (55

FR 29148; July 17, 1990), the FAA

announced the public availability of

several indexes and summaries that

provide identifying information about

the decisions and orders issued by the

Administrator under the FAA’s civil

penalty assessment authority and the

rules of practice governing hearings and

appeals of civil penalty actions. 14 CFR

Part 13, Subpart G.

The FAA maintains an index of the

Administrator’s decisions and orders in

civil penalty actions organized by order

number and containing identifying

information about each decision or

order. The FAA also maintains a

cumulative subject-matter index and

digests organized by order number. The

indexes are published on a quarterly

basis (i.e., January, April, July, and

October.)

The FAA first published these

indexes and digests for all decisions and

orders issued by the Administrator

through September 30, 1990. 55 FR

45984; October 31, 1990. The FAA

announced in that notice that only the

subject-matter index would be

published cumulatively and that the

order number index would be noncumulative. The FAA announced in a

later notice that the order number

indexes published in January would

reflect all of the civil penalty decisions

for the previous year. 58 FR 5044; 1/19/

93.

The previous quarterly publications of

the indexes have appeared in the

Federal Register as follows:

Civil Penalty Actions—Orders Issued

by the Administrator—Digests

(Current as of June 30, 1998)

The digests of the Administrator’s

final decisions and orders are arranged

by order number, and briefly summarize

key points of the decision. The

following compilation of digests

includes all final decisions and orders

issued by the Administrator from April

1, 1998, to June 30, 1998. The FAA will

publish non-cumulative supplements to

this compilation on a quarterly basis

(e.g., April, July, October, and January of

each year).

These digests do not constitute legal

authority, and should not be cited or

relied upon as such. The digests are not

intended to serve as a substitute for

proper legal research. Parties, attorneys,

and other interested persons should

always consult the full text of the

Administrator’s decisions before citing

them in any context.

In the Matter of Continental Airlines

Order No. 98–6 (4/7/98)

Standard of Review. Nowhere do the

Rules of Practice state that the

Administrator may only reverse a law

judge’s findings if they are ‘‘clearly

erroneous and unsupported by any

evidence.’’ Under the Rules, reversal

may be appropriate if the law judge’s

findings of fact are unsupported by a

preponderance of reliable, probative,

and substantial evidence.

Passenger/baggage matching. The law

judge erred in finding that Complainant

failed to prove that Continental did not

carry out its passenger/baggage match

procedures. Continental admitted in a

letter that it failed to perform its

passenger/baggage match procedures

and that it could not refute the

allegations. Hence, a preponderance of

the evidence indicates that Continental

violated the security directive requiring

passenger/baggage matching.

Sanction. It is unnecessary to delay

the resolution of the case by remanding

it to the law judge for sanction

determination. The matter is

straightforward and the record is clear.

A penalty in the maximum range

($7,500 to $10,000 for large air carriers)

is appropriate when an air carrier fails

to comply with its security program.

Due to the corrective action taken by

Continental, the lowest penalty in the

maximum range is appropriate. A civil

penalty of $7,500 for a violation of 14

CFR 107.13(a) is assessed.

In the Matter of City of Los Angeles,

Department of Airports

Order No. 98–7 (4/7/98)

Appealable Issue. LAX’s appeal

challenges the law judge’s application of

the law to the case. Thus, LAX has

raised an appealable issue.

Transfer of Responsibility for Airport

Security. Contrary to LAX’s claim, a

proposed airport security program

amendment that transfers away crucial

security responsibilities cannot be

approved by default. Thus, LAX is

responsible for the breach in airport

security in the instant case, in which an

unbadged FAA security agent gained

access to a restricted-access elevator and

the air operations area. the law judge’s

decision assessing a $500 civil penalty

for a violation of 14 CFR 107.13(a) is

affirmed.

In the Matter of Paul A. Carr

Order No. 98–8 (5/4/98)

Order No. 98–2 Modified. Footnote 27

of FAA Order No. 98–2 is modified to

omit footnote 27 in which it was stated

that Respondent may petition a Federal

Court of Appeals for review under 49

U.S.C. 46110. The footnote is deleted

because that statutory provision does

not apply to hazardous materials cases

initiated under 49 U.S.C. 5123 (such as

this case.)

In the Matter of Continental Express

Order No. 98–9 (5/4/98)

Appeal Dismissed. Complainant and

Respondent filed a joint motion to

withdraw their appeals. Joint motion is

granted.

In the Matter of Daniel Rawlings

Order No. 98–10 (5/8/98)

Failure to Perfect Appeal. By FAA

Order No. 97–33, Mr. Rawlings was

ordered to perfect his appeal by filing an

appeal brief by November 25, 1997. Mr.

Rawlings failed to file an appeal brief.

Accordingly, Rawlings’ appeal is

dismissed under 14 CFR 13.233(d)(2).

In the Matter of Trans World Airlines

Order No. 98–11 (6/16/98)

Intoxicated Passenger. The law judge

ruled that TWA violated 14 CFR

121.575(c), by allowing a passenger to

board an aircraft although she appeared

intoxicated, and 14 CFR 121.575(b)(1),

by serving alcoholic beverages to her

during the flight while she appeared

intoxicated. Further, the law judge held

that TWA violated 14 CFR 121.575(d) by

failing to report the disturbance created

by the apparently intoxicated passenger

to the FAA, and 14 CFR 121.577(a) by

taking off without first collecting a

champagne glass from this passenger.

TWA appeals from the law judge’s

findings and assessment of a $40,000

civil penalty. The Administrator denies

TWA’s appeal.

Constitutionality of the Appearance of

Intoxication Standard. The
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 134 /Tuesday, July 14, 1998 / Notices 37929

Administrator declines to rule on

whether 14 CFR 121.575(c) and (b)(1)

were unconstitutionally vague, holding

that such constitutional challenges

belong in a Federal court of appeals.

The Administrator holds that the flight

crew in this case understood the

standard ‘‘appears intoxicated’’ and that

the preponderance of the evidence

supports the law judge’s findings that

TWA (1) allowed the passenger to board

when she appeared intoxicated, and (2)

served alcoholic beverages to this

passenger when she appeared

intoxicated. The evidence of an

appearance of intoxication included: (1)

the passenger was loud and verbally

abusive to the flight attendants and her

daughter; (2) the passenger was drinking

alcoholic beverages on board; (3) the

flight crew had a difficult time keeping

the passenger in her seat; (4) the

passenger at times was unable to control

her anger and at other times wept in the

arms of a flight attendant.

Responsibility for the Actions of

Employees. The Administrator rejected

TWA’s argument that it should not be

held responsible for the actions of its

flight crew because the crew acted

contrary to the regulations and TWA

policy. An employer, in this case, an air

carrier, is responsible for the acts or

omissions of its employees acting in the

scope of their employment. In this case,

the flight crew was acting in the scope

of their authority, but they exercised

poor judgment.

Penalty. The Administrator affirms

the $40,000 civil penalty.

In the Matter of David G. Stout

Order No. 98–12 (6/16/98)

Sanction in Passenger Misconduct

Case. Mr. Stout refused to follow the

flight attendant’s repeated instructions

to fasten his seat belt, and refused to

return the flight attendant’s security

badge to her. Complainant appealed,

arguing that the law judge incorrectly

reduced the civil penalty from the

$3,000 sought by the agency to $1,700.

Complainant argues that the law judge

improperly failed to defer to the FAA

inspector’s sanction determination and

failed to consider the extent and

egregiousness of Mr. Stout’s

misconduct. Nothing in the Rules of

Practice, however, requires law judges

to defer to an FAA inspector’s sanction

determination. The agency bears the

burden of proving the appropriate

sanction amount. Although Mr. Stout’s

behavior cannot be minimized or

condoned, the sanction imposed by the

law judge is consistent with precedent

and is sufficient under the

circumstances. The agency’s appeal is

denied and the law judge’s decision

assessing a $1,700 civil penalty is

affirmed.

In the Matter of Air St. Thomas

Order No. 98–13 (6/16/98)

Reconsideration Denied. Air St.

Thomas allegedly operated an aircraft

on 560 air carrier flights with

deactivated and partially dismantled

carburetor heat systems. After Air St.

Thomas failed to file both an answer

and a response to the law judge’s order

to show cause, the law judge entered a

$20,000 default judgment. Air St.

Thomas then filed a notice of appeal,

but it was late, leading the

Administrator to dismiss Air St.

Thomas’s appeal. Air St. Thomas then

filed a petition for reconsideration.

The Administrator granted Air St.

Thomas an additional opportunity to

show good cause for the lateness of its

appeal, and Air St. Thomas has filed a

brief explaining that its President

misread the law judge’s order and

thought that the case against it had been

dismissed. Air St. Thomas’s brief also

explains that its president is confused

by legal matters, but chose not to hire

an attorney because he thought his

money would be better spent

maintaining his aircraft.

Air St. Thomas has filed to show good

cause for the lateness of its notice of

appeal. Air St. Thomas’s petition for

reconsideration is denied, and a $20,000

civil penalty is assessed.
